The shipwrecks of Lake Champlain

Looking out into Burlington Bay, in the foreground you can see shipwreck markers. In 1986, New York and Vermont created the Lake Champlain Underwater Historic Preserve System to protect the fragile wrecks from anchor damage and theft, while providing public access to divers. In the same year, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum set up shop at Basin Harbor and went to work collecting, documenting, and preserving what artifacts it could salvage. A decade later, it began a 10-year sonar scan of the lake's floor, uncovering at least 70 previously unknown wrecks. Nine are open to divers, three of them in Burlington Bay.

Now you can see it all. Though only the sixth largest of America's lakes, Lake Champlain's distinction is what it contains: arguably the nation's largest collection of historic wooden shipwrecks. Now you can see it all in the comfort of your seat and very own portal on the Champlain Submarine Cruise. Visit the wreck of the General Butler or the wreck of the canal schooner OJ Walker. See it all. See all the various fish, bass and trout.
